Wii Les Paul Wireless Guitar Reviews

• Glad it came down a notch...

  For those that don't know, this was originally listed (on other sites) at $69.99. With the Nyko model at $59.99 (or was it 49.99)? So while the price point is still pretty high, I suppose it could be worse.
  
  Otherwise, it's the same guitar packed-in with the game. And it's pretty darn nice.
  
  Though, take note. The features currently showing on amazon.com are:
  
  * Gaming Guitar
  * Wireless Features include 2.4Ghz Technology
  * Includes Guitar Strap, Stickers
  * 2 AA Batteries Required
  * Also Features Wireless
  
  Which _definitely_ borders on false advertising. This guitar does _not_ feature 2.4GHz technology; the Wii remote that you insert into it (and which is _not_ included, obviously) does. And I'm not sure what "also features wireless" means, unless it's an attempt to _really_ drill that false claim home (the guitar itself communicates in a 100% wired fashion with your Wii remote). And obviously, because it contains no transmitter and is powered off the Wii remote it doesn't require 2 AA batteries either...the Wii remote does.
  
  I'm not positive, but I'm _pretty_ sure advertising the features of an item that isn't included is false advertising...and it's _definitely_ shady. It's about the same as advertising that an iPod case holds 80GB of music. Or maybe that an iPod charger does.
  
  

• Guitar Hero Guitar=Amazing

  Guitar Hero 3 is the latest installment in the Guitar Hero series, and it's back on a new console- Nintendo's Wii. In this guitar you put your Wii Remote inside the Guitar Hero Guitar. You can always take the neck off, to save space. There are 5 "fret" buttons: The green, the red, the yellow, the blue, and the orange. There is a control stick, like the one on the Nunchuk, and you can use it to navigate around the Wii Menu. And under that is the strum bar. You move it up or down when a note comes at you, and at the same time press a fret button, and it makes a sound. Next to that is the + and - buttons. You use these to pause the game. Under these is the Whammy bar, which is rotatable. And it comes with a strap, so you don't drop it when you're playing. Yes, if you need another guitar for your Wii, don't hesitate to buy this. It will not be a waste of your money.
  
  

• For Multiplayer Guitar Hero Fun

  
  By A3NIAH5P0R1S54 on 2008-03-31
  Seeing as there is no alternative product, other than maybe a few cheaper knock-off guitars, this is your best way to go if you want to have some multiplayer Guitar Hero fun on your Wii.
  
  It's the exact same guitar as the one packaged with the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Bundle.
  
  If you are debating on saving a few dollars to get a "knockoff version" such as the Nyko one, don't bother. I think you would be much better off investing a few more dollars to get the trustworthy guitar that was made by the company that is partnered with the Guitar Hero software developers.
  
  Unfortunately, the price point is a bit on the expensive side, but it is cheaper here than anywhere else I've seen it.
  
  So, if you are looking to play Guitar Hero on your Wii with a 2nd player guitar, look no further. This is the product we have all been awaiting for the past 5 months since Guitar Hero III's release back in November 2007. Have fun rocking out!
  
  

• Exactly what I'd hoped for

  The same exact controller that comes bundled with the game, including the strap, stickers, etc... Great quality.
  
  

• great guitar

  
  By A3QQ9ZDDJ50MFP on 2008-04-21
  The product is wonderful. GUitar hero is my favorite game and my family plays it for hours at a time. The game is quite addicting. I do wish that that were more songs available on game, however I will get new Aerosmith version in June.
  
  
• Two is Better than One!
  By A3HORMGXHXVQZT on 2008-04-23
  I wasn't real sure if having a second guitar would be worth it, but it's great. Now both my daughter and I can play at the same time, either cooperatively (to beat the game and work our way up), or in "face off" mode, against each other. If we needed to we could actually be at different levels in "face off" (e.g. she in Hard, me in Medium). Definitely worth the purchase--in cooperative mode, one person takes bass, the other takes lead guitar (although there are still 5 "strings" on the bass guitar). I've found that the Wii remote chews up batteries--I pull them out when not playing, and they seem to last longer.
  
  
• Extra Guitar - for GH3 - Wii
  By AYV72X4K8VOUI on 2008-04-28
  Works perfect. Same guitar as the one that came in the original bundle with Guitar Hero 3. This game is great, and the wireless guitar is so money. Definately necessary to have 2 guitars for this game.
  
  Will be even better with Aerosmith's Guitar Hero game release in June 2008.
  
  
• good so far
  By A3VG8WGRFKXJOZ on 2008-04-30
  This product has been good so far. I have only had it for a month. So no breakage problems yet, and hopefully there won't be any.

  Product delivered quickly, works just fine. Same as the bundled package guitar. Cheaper price that what was in the stores.
  
  
• Love to guitar hero play with my teenage daughter
  By A1EL4YT8QR21A6 on 2008-05-17
  I found something that my teenage daughter still likes to do with me!
  We are even teaching grandma how to play. We can play for a quick 5 minutes or for 3 hours. We can play individually, as a team, or competitively. We can pack it up and take it with us, play it on the big screen or down in the playroom. There's no cussing, no blood and guts, and no sex! It is just good, clean fun, family style. I just wish Wii had more games - and I am not that thrilled with the upcoming Aerosmith game. I like them, but they are not my fave. I am sure it will be fun anyway because I will know most of the songs.
  
  This a game that the whole family can play together, as with many other Wii games. I love it!
